Health and Nature
An ever-increasing body of research confirms the direct connection between a healthy environment and healthy residents. Our Nature and Human Health Initiative is committed to building bridges between the environmental and health care communities, co-leveraging assets for community projects, and jointly broadcasting this positive message.

There was enormous enthusiasm and interest, with many new voices joining the rich conversations.
